‘Creepers’ – Cast Announced for Lionsgate Adaptation of ‘Rambo’ Creator’s Horror Novel

Suretone Pictures and Lionsgate are co-financing Suretone’s adventure/horror film Creepers, based on the bestselling 2005 book of the same name by David Morrell, and today they’ve announced the cast for the upcoming film – including horror mainstay Javier Botet!

Creepers is the story of a group of young urban explorers who plan to investigate an old, boarded up, seemingly abandoned hotel, only to encounter danger at every turn in the form of a competing group of hostile urban explorers seeking to find a legendary hidden treasure as well as a supernatural being who wreaks havoc on all.

Jake Manley (Midway), Adeline Rudolph (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Francesca Reale (“Stranger Things”), Laurence O’Faurain (“Vikings”), Nicholas Hamilton (It: Chapter Two), Javier Botet (REC, The Conjuring 2), Skylan Brooks (“The Get Down”), and Kai Caster (“American Horror Story”) will star. Here’s the breakdown for the actors and their roles…

  • Manley will play Rick, the official leader of the Creepers.
  • Rudolph will play Diane, the unofficial leader of the group, and Rick’s rebellious, defying, impulsive girlfriend.
  • Reale will play Cora, a parkour expert and the key in the group who opens doors wherever they’re closed while keeping everyone honest.
  • O’Faurain will play Balenger, a mysterious, brooding, powerful stranger with a secret and who isn’t who he says he is.
  • Hamilton will play Tod, leader of the Scavengers, a rival urbex group and who is particularly cruel and vicious.
  • Botet will play the supernatural Pale Creature whose domain is the abandoned Paragon Hotel.
  • Brooks will play Vernon, the 4th Creeper, a wise-cracking tech-nerd who is not doing a good job of hiding his true feelings for Cora.
  • Caster will play JD, once a Creeper, but exiled after breaking their code and further betraying them by joining the rival Scavs.

Filming began this week in Bulgaria, with the film being directed by Marc Klasfeld, the legendary music video and commercial director who is making his feature film debut.
